JekPorkchops Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I would have voted for Ahsoka if she actually got a new head piece mould. The rest of the figure looks fantastic and very detailed but that Shaak Ti piece is completely inappropriate for her. Also, her lightsabers should've been trans-clear. I'm voting for Han Solo. With that new hairpiece, he's pretty much perfect. The only thing that could possibly be added to him is dual-moulded legs for his boots and maybe side leg printing for those stripes on his pants (though that last part is kinda optional, as a Lego figure is more of an approximation then a replica of course).

DarthTwoShedsJackson Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I would have voted for Han Solo if he actually got a new head piece mould that was totally accurate. The rest of the figure looks fantastic and very detailed but that new hair piece is completely inappropriate for him. Also, his blaster should've been silver at the muzzle. I'm voting for Ahsoka Tano. With that new print on the female adult Togruta-hairpiece, she's pretty much perfect. The only thing that could possibly be added to her is dual-moulded arms for her exposed shoulders and maybe dual-moulded legs for her shin armour (though that last part is kinda optional, as a Lego figure is more of an approximation then a replica of course).

VaderFan2187 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Posted April 28, 2017 "Ahsoka Tano, pulling away..." Looks like she's going to win but I don't have time to make a new batch so I'll let people continue voting. Quote

I guess it was a bit hypocritical to call minifigures approximations and then criticize the fact that she uses a piece made to resemble her species, but I'm still disappointed by the lack of a new mould. The approximation thing was more about the squarish style of the figs in general. Han Solo got a new and more accurate mold for his hair and it looks great on him, more realistic but still stylized enough. You can't really compare something major like the wrong lightsaber colour with the omission of detail on a tiny blaster piece though. A more valid comparison would be Solo's silver blaster tip and the black pieces and buttons on a lightsaber hilt. Also, about the headpiece, I remember having a discussion about this before the fig was revealed, so I looked it up and you said this: On 25 april 2016 at 6:23 PM, DarthTwoShedsJackson said: An adult Ahsoka without a new head piece would be a stupid move. Her lekku are recognizably shorter than Shaak Ti's, and her montrals - the horn-like head extensions - have a significantly different shape: In Shaak Ti's case they curve inward in an s-shape, wheras Ahsoka's curve slightly outwards, which gives her a more badass look. So I'm confident that they'll make a new headpiece, because otherwise this would be a pitchforks-and-torches-worthy disappointment. Quote
TheGeneralMoe Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I'm voting for Han Solo. I recently got the Death Star, and i surprisingly found the figure very nice looking. The new hair piece is spot on! Its a shame the Imperial Navy Trooper didn't make it, he is one of my favourite underrate star wars characters. Quote
DarthTwoShedsJackson Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) @JekPorkchops This was all in good fun - just pulling your leg. As for the headpiece-discussion: Yes, I said that when we discussed the minifig before it got released. However, you should've also quoted my review of the actual minifig here on Eurobricks a couple of days before she got officially released, because I never owned the headpiece before that and commented that its shape actually fits Ahsoka better than Shaak Ti. That being said, in truth I find Han's new hair piece perfect, I just like the Ahsoka minifig more as a whole, not just because we finally got an adult version of her, but most importantly because they did a great job with her printing and especially got her face and expressions - thus the character - perfect.

robertgorman2505 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Han Solo, that hair is just too good. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Posted April 30, 2017 I've decided I'll leave this open until Wednesday (this topic was created on Wednesday). I want to make each batch stay open for one week. Quote
LOBOT-OMY Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 ^^^ Good man, many thx VaderFan. This has been a superb game. Quote

For me she could possibly be the best minifigure left over from this round. Edited May 8, 2017 by VaderFan2187 Quote
Agent Kallus Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 This is quite a close round but I will go for K-2SO. Quote
Ultron Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Tough choice between Luminara and K2SO. While K2SO does have some impressive printing on that upper torso mold, I wish they had molded him new poseable legs as well. I hate the super battle droid legs. I'll have to go with Luminara. Quote
legofives Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Shoretrooper Captain (should be all time winner IMO) Quote
Joemmo Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Tough call but I'm voting for Snap Wexley. The print is great and the dual mould helmet is such a nice piece. Quote
